I think it was Nick in Tales who wrote that. I like it also. But there is a reason for
the POW sacrifice. Your chance of casting the spell is very high. I.e.
you are sure that it will work. It's not like well maybe it will, but
what if not ? You are sure it will and so you must pay therefore.

So again I have to defend my race. I say that there is a difference
between BEING chaotic and DETECT as chaotic. The first is to use chaos
to the best and not to see it as a weakness but as a strength. But we
Telmori are detected as chaotic while we believe that chaos is evil
cause it destroys and perverts life itself. From a Uroxi point of view
it may be no difference but it IS a great one.
Question 1 : Does anybody know the "real" (I know that there is no
ultimate Truth but I ask anyway) story of what happened to the Telmori
and if they were cursed or blessed ?
Question 2: Would there be a difference between what happens to Telmori on wilddays and between the spells of mighty Telmor. I think there should be one because the first one is chaotic the other isn't ?

Yes I agree. But you have to be suprahuman to go on the God's Plane to
one god and say to him something he doesn't want to hear. And since GL
travelled on the God's plane a lot they had to be somehow immune to the
gods, no ? The GL stole perhaps not parts of the God's plane but of the
Gods themselves. First most gods said, well it doesn't matter when
this or that god becomes weak I am even stronger then. But after a while
they took so much that the gods became frightened and worked together to
destroy them. One god alone was helpless but all together meant
destruction. And so they are extinct now, praise Telmor.
Question 3: In which direction does Magasta's Pool spin and why ?
